I think you can use accumulate()
here to help. And i’ve also made a wrapper function to use for different thresholds
sum_reset_at <- function(thresh) {
function(x) {
accumulate(x, ~if_else(.x>=thresh, .y, .x+.y))
}
}
tib %>% mutate(c = sum_reset_at(5)(a))
# t a c
# <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
# 1 1 2 2
# 2 2 3 5
# 3 3 1 1
# 4 4 2 3
# 5 5 2 5
# 6 6 3 3
tib %>% mutate(c = sum_reset_at(4)(a))
# t a c
# <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
# 1 1 2 2
# 2 2 3 5
# 3 3 1 1
# 4 4 2 3
# 5 5 2 5
# 6 6 3 3
tib %>% mutate(c = sum_reset_at(6)(a))
# t a c
# <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
# 1 1 2 2
# 2 2 3 5
# 3 3 1 6
# 4 4 2 2
# 5 5 2 4
# 6 6 3 7
